80V and similar LED drivers are common ..... I have plenty of such LED lights in my garage which use series connected LEDs in strips. They are powerful but if one LED goes then the whole strip goes out. LED strips are also common in 12V DC and presumably these are parallel connected.

Yours is apparently designed for 12-24V which would be right for motor-homes and boats etc but low voltage AC is not familiar territory for me. Another, step-down transformer would be required for that so why not just have the one mains driver?
